Icelandic Chickens

9 weeks old. It popped a big comb and turned pink really early, so I had it pegged as a boy. I agree that it is looking more girly now though. The tail is straight too, not any curve in it.

Hey, I'm not perfect - sexing chicks is an art, not a science! I never claimed to be an expert. (thanks Kathy and Mary

)

Okay, since Jake is obviously not going to post pictures, after taking us to task for being "off topic"...........I'll post a few more from today's photo shoot!

Elska......it was shady and she looks darker than herself for some reason











Audun keeping an eye on the chicks while Krystal has a dust bath........such a great rooster!!!

If Elska disappears in Nov. when I'm crossing Illinois to visit my Mother in MO., I didn't have anything to do with it ! She is gorgeous.

Up at 5, moved my mom to assisted living all day until work at 5, just got home and guess what was waiting!!!!

Oh my! and look at all the pips!

Sorry about moving your mother, I know how hard moving a parent can be.

Rough day, but a miracle at the end! What perfect timing!
